The Celestene Prophecy by James Redcliffe is a book and movie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Celestine_Prophecy_(film)#Cast_and...) which entails a mans journey to understand himself and his position in the world. It all begins with a synchronicity that leads him to Peru to find 9 hidden insights. However the first 8 have been discovered by Archaeologist the ninth requires further exploring of the inner world. Here they are:
- Feeling restless? You're not alone: Everybody's starting to look for more meaning in life. Start paying closer attention to those seemingly "Chance Coincidences" - strange occurrences that feel like they were meant to happen. They are actually synchronistic events, and following them will start you on your path to spiritual truth.
- Observe our culture within its proper historical context. The first half of the past millennium was spent under the thumb of the church; in the second half we became preoccupied with material comfort. Now, at the end of the twentieth century, we've exhausted that preoccupation. We're ready to discover life's ultimate purpose.
- Start to get acquainted with the subtle energy that infuses all things. With practice, you can learn to see the aura around any living being and to project your own energy around it to give it strength.
- An unconscious competition for energy underlies all conflicts. By dominating or manipulating others, we get the extra energy we think we need. Sure, it feels good - but both parties are damaged in the conflict.
- The key to overcoming conflict in the world is the mystical experience, which is available to everyone. To nurture the mystical and build your energy, allow yourself to be filled with a sense of love.
- Childhood traumas block our ability to fully experience the mystical. All humans, because of their upbringing, tend toward one of four control dramas:
- Intimidators steal energy from others by threat.
- Interrogators steal it by judging and questioning.
- Aloof people attract attention (and energy) to themselves by playing coy.
- Poor me's make us feel guilty and responsible for them.
Become aware of the family dynamics that created your control drama and you can focus on your essential question, which is how to make of your life a higher- level synthesis of your parents' lives.
- Once cleared of traumas, you can build energy through contemplation and meditation, focus on you basic life question, and start riding a steady stream of intuitions, dreams, and synchronistic coincidences, all guiding you in the direction of your own evolution and transformation.
- That evolution can't be done alone, so begin to practice the new "Interpersonal Ethic" by uplifting those who cross your path. Talk to people who make spontaneous eye contact with you. Avoid co-dependent relationships. Be there for people. Call attention to other people's control dramas. In groups, speak when the spirit (instead of the ego) moves you.
Like the movie, I will not provide you with ninth insight as it is up to you to discover it; just telling you will spoil the purpose. Anyhow, Our hero John meets a man named Wil ( Free Will) who speaks very ambiguously about the nine scrolls or so it seems to Hero. He begins on a path discovering auras, ciphering, past life regression, synchronicity, faith, and energy but most importantly his inner guidance. John finds much of this information through others like Julia (who is a jewel of abundance knowledge)
However, as always, a guardian attempts to protect the secret: political leaders and the church. On the contrary thought this is an allusion, the blockages primarily comes from us when we try to control that which does not require control; we simply must be open and aware. We control others`energy when it should free flow throughout our bodies naturally which leads to energy draining. We must learn to let go and allow our intuition to guide us in this ocean of knowledge to find our place. We can do this by meditating and other activities. If we remain stagnant in our old beliefs evolution will be very destructive on our souls. Also by not opening up to share the energy and knowledge discovered on our paths the external world will often time try to grasp the positive energy from you and drain it from you. Have you ever noticed when you re full of positive energy people around become jealous and resentful of our luck? Its because we re not sharing it. When we in our competition it creates a pyramid shapes and only the top power becomes victorious ( So he thinks) as everyone scrambles for the scraps of energy. However this is another allusion as this energy is abudant all around us and we should learn to share our knowledge in the external world to reflect our internal. So where will your Will take you?
These are portions of the movie as I could no longer find the full movie on you tube. You will have to buy the book or movie but it something does come I will be sure to post it. However these links will help you gain an idea as to what I m talking about. Wholeness
